Highways to Society
The project aims to increase citizens’ knowledge and skills, to make them active and integrate them in their community,
to identify and try to overcome “inhibition level/barriers” of access to society in new and innovative ways. Basically it
is necessary to define the different view of “participation” (i.e., what it means to be a European citizen). The object of
this Grundtvig Learning Partnership is the exchange on the different national activities in the area of educationally
disadvantaged people and the promotion of non-formal learning with regard to civic activities, education and training,
in the perspective of different experiences from EU countries as well as an exchange of their organisational structures
and financing, the different requirements and experiences with inclusion of disadvantaged, distance education learners,
and methods for promoting non-formal, self-organized learning, as well as the connection between education and social
urban development. Main focus is to extend knowledge and skills, find ways to reach out to less educated people
attending non-formal education in the area of active citizenship. Beside that the project partners interchange on different
methods of competence analysis and assessments as well as on the matter how to certify non-formally acquired
knowledge and skills. The national experiences regarding their transfer and dissemination into other countries will be
evaluated and some project documentation will be established. The project aims at the promotion of project’s results in
our communities in all partner countries, the structural improvement on the education availability of low educated
people traditionally far away from education, and at the improvement on efficiency of education offered by local cooperation
and by networking of protagonists and organisations. The partner organisations plan to exchange good
practice and to find out the activities that will work with our target groups.
